Snake Eyes Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Good call on Robert Johnson whoever said it.Bonamassa, Ry Cooder, Paul Gilbert, Frank Zappa etc. all good too. I've got a lot of respect for Buckethead's solo stuff - Too Many Humans as an example, look that up on youtube and it's fucking great.

Snake Eyes Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 (edited) Fuckin Billy Gibbons too, what a player. He's got such a bluesy, groovy feel for every solo he pulls out.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34wNfmpYrb8...feature=related - listen to that toneNow I think of it, Jimmy Reed. And it's obvious to all but Hendrix - that fifteen minute version of Voodoo Child on Electric Ladyland is great.

BETTERthanSWEETCHILD Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 There's a guy Greg Koch, he does guitar training videos and a lot of Fender promotion. He's fuckin awesome! He has some free stuff on his website. "Spank It", "Redhouse" (Hendrix cover), "Your Face", "Come and Gone", and "SurfZep" to name a few are fantastic!My favorites or influences you could say, change like the wind being a musician. Here's a few of my staples thoughStevie Ray VaughanSlashJimi HendrixJack WhiteEric ClaptonBB KingRobert JohnsonMuddy WatersJerry Cantrel (Alice in Chains)Mike McCready (Pearl Jam)I could go on for days but these are the guys I couldn't live without!

dann Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Always a fan of the super players.MalmsteenAndres SegovaChet AtkinsAlot of sub-sonic players as well; Jason BeckerJimmy HerringBucketheadMark KnopflerRandy RhoadsI kind of hate thinking about guitars/guitarists. I fell asleep wrong one night, and when I woke up my pinky finger didn't move, and my ring finger moves very slow. It's been that way ever since. So the thought of playing really takes the wind out of my sails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest deleted_19765 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 It's not that I don't think they're good guitarists, I just don't find them particularly useful. Hendrix is perhaps the epitome of this...So, the history of guitar post 1967 is of no interest to you?I don't follow that argument, to be honest. Sure I might be interested in what Hendrix has influenced. That's impossible to deny. But like I say I find the guy himself & what he's played to be of little use. I don't enjoy his playing in it's context. I find that he played very little that I actually want to listen to, other than his one appearance on "False Start" by Love (which is one of the most pointlessly hated records I can think of as it goes...). Perhaps the guitar world is a much more interesting place Post-Hendrix, but my love for the guy himself doesn't exist. I don't really think he sounds particularly vital these days. Some of his contemporaries sound much better than he does with the benefit of hindsight. Similarly, I think John Cipollina was a great guitarist, but there's hardly anything by him I'd actually listen to, whereas others have used his style more effectively.Of course I'm talking on a personal level here. It pointless trying to take any other view. If others want to love him, that's great. As it goes, I don'tThis is a better explanation. I just don't think "useless" is quite the right term, if you are to admit the influence Hendrix had on guitarists you listen to more.

swlabr Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 (edited) I don't care how much people here hate Eric Clapton but this is seriously one of the best solo's I've heard: I love how it builds up in intensity, the switching of the pickups. Ahhh, wow.My faves are probably Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, SRV. I know it's the typical trifecta of guitarists but they're just the ones i admire.the dude from sublime is severely underrated.

Ant Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 (edited) John Mayer deserves more credit than he gets, imo, among "guitar circles." Edited February 25, 2009 by Ant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can play & has a great feel, but I've heard 85% of his licks before...by Stevie Ray Vaughan (and no, I'm not a SRV nut, not really my style).

swlabr Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I like John Mayer but I get the impression that he tries to fit in a SRV lick whenever he can just to please guitar aficionados. Sometimes it works. Other times he fails. He does have some of the best tones around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the "circles" I was exposed to were the exception. We can stop using quotes right about now.I posted that after reading a dissertation on a guitar forum on why John Mayer is not, cannot, and will never be a blues musician. Some people take this stuff seriously . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
